Key Notes

Vitalik Buterin introduced GKR to enhance fast proof systems.

The Ethereum founder emphasized that GKR is not zero-knowledge.

Buterin has criticized the AI industry's focus on “agentic” models.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin introduced the GKR protocol, which comprises innovations that facilitate very fast proof systems. He described these solutions as a family of protocols that is behind the extreme speed of many operational proving systems. Buterin focused on showing GKR implementation for proving Poseidon hashes.

GKR Is Not Zero-knowledge

Buterin started his post by acknowledging the existence of ultra-fast ZK-provers. These are ZK-EVM provers that manifest the Ethereum Layer-1 in real-time and do this with just 50 consumer GPUs.
